Elm House Assembly
It was a privilege to join 7 Elm’s Character Development Group for their first House assembly of the year on Monday of this week.
As a school our vertical House system encourages and fosters that strong sense of being in a family at BMS and, in usual times, the House assemblies would be held in the Main Hall with different year groups across the House being together as a genuine House family.
Despite being delivered across year groups in separate CDC groups the strong sense of family was still tangible in the key messages provided by our inspirational Heads of House related to the Theme of the Week: RELATIONSHIPS.
Do enjoy the video below which shows the House Assembly crafted by Head of Elm House Miss Pattni.
The photos show how well all Year 7 Elm students were listening to the key messages and also learning from two engaging media clips related to the theme.
